17" laptops which have 2 HDD bays?

[merli777]

Can anyone point me towards any 17" laptops which have 2 HDD bays? Both bays need to be able to take 2.5" HDDs rather than one HDD and one SSD. I don't want to swap out the optical drive (in fact, bluray would be icing on the cake).

I have a history of using dells and acers so they would be my first choice.

Thanks!

Whats your budget?

budget flexible. It just makes a difference how long I need to save up!

I don't mind buying a relatively expensive one although it seems a waste to pay for a lot of spec that I don't need.

Unfortunately 3 storage devices are rare and only available in desktop replacements. I would suggest looking at a boutique site like xotic pc and configure the laptop then buying a dell.

I've had pcspecialists recommended to me so I'll take a look there. Thanks for all your help.

I know of two Mfrs.
Asus - I don't have a model as they've likely changes since I had mine.

HP - HP Envy 17t j100. However I have one now and would strongly recommend against HP. I have key board issue with mine and once our warranty has expired they won't even talk to you unless you pay. Their customer service sucks big time and has also provided me with wrong information.
